    Proud of it aren't you Kondar? We'll see if you are the same in 4 years. Smart money says you won't be.

    Great news. Which state?
    In California, so it doesn't really matter much as he'll win the state by a landslide. It was fun though because I went to the county registrars to do it so there were quite a few other people

    Says the Bush supporter from four years ago (I am assuming). I actually think McCain is a great guy and was a bit torn, but I just think that for NOW, Obama is what America needs.

    As a person I don't dislike Bush, and I half like half don't like his policies. And 4 years ago I hated him :p:

    I really hope you look back in 4 years and think "wow, I wish we didn't change that!"

    According to the results of a poll on TSR which, quite frankly, isn't the most reliable of indicators.
    .....my prediction doesn't depend on the result of the TSR poll
    the locus is clear

    At least he won't risk looking back in two years and regret voting for McCain AND Sarah I-put-the-alas-in-Alaska Palin

    That depends on what state I'm in. :p: In Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia, N. Carolina, Colorado, Missouri and a few others, I'd vote for Obama/Biden.

    Elsewhere, I'd have to have a think - but probably still O/B, because I'm romantic and want to be part of this.

    If the online polls are anything like the polls on paper Obama will win by a landslide! AND I BLOODY HOPE HE DOES! If McCain gets in America will probably be doomed! (my opinion)
